BillM Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 $11 ?US, so $15CAD or so? If it works well then it's most likely worth the $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 If the eyes are getting bad and it helps (more so on a windy day) then why not try it? I have seen a few like that as of late too. My eye's are going and they must know it so I've considered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptackle Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Warning - IF you do try ordering this watch your credit card billings online frequently - I tried with something similar and ended up having to get several fake charges reversed and my card reissued. Not saying this isn't legit, but remember about things seeming too good to be true... Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave524 Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Once you get the 2 finger twirl down pat, this one has served me well for over 30 years tying up eye hooks for steelhead, strong and quick. Like it says if you tie flies and do a whip finish without one of those safety pin type whip finisher tools the mechanics are the same. http://www.steelheader.net/knots/whip_finish.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will give the pen thing a try. I have tried using a nail and a straight bobbin needle, but for the life of me,I can not get it right. I tried the shank snell knot and almost have it down, almost.

GOING FLY FISHING. for a nail knot , I use a section of empty ball pen ink tube instead of a nail and pass the leader back through the tube. edit This may help , to the backing I use an albright knot Edited April 28, 2020 by dave524 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayK Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 I have a similar tool, and they work great once you get the hang of it. These days I just put a permanent Loop on the end of the fly line, and attach leaders using a Loop to Loop connection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrispy Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 I ordered one last week too. I tried to check the shipping that they gave me and it kept coming up that there was no data for that tracking number. I sent the company an email and they got back to me right away and gave me another tracking number. I checked into it and it was saying it was shipped. It is coming from China, so it will take a few weeks to get to you. I wish I would have known it came from there, I wouldn't have purchased it. I am trying to keep my money in Canada at this time.

Ya I am a pro am guy.LOL I finally got my order through to Cabelas for fly supplies. I added one of those knot things to it. Atleast I know what I am paying for .

eXodus Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 I bought one of these awhile ago (elsewhere for ~2 all in), same thing. It's easier to just use your fingers then this tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moses Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 I bought one couple of years. Hard time using it with light line. Great for heavier line. Maybe its just my eyes. Probably need more practice Not using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUMP KNOWS Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 $3.99cdn + free shipping from AliExpress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutlife Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 That store is garbage. They dropship all their junk from China. If you really want something on there, might as well get it from AliExpress as that's where everything comes from anyways! Never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 I picked up one off another supplier as a back up. It's no where near as good as the $25 one I have but it will do as a back up for $9.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted August 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 I have found a knot that I can tie easy now. It,s not really a nail knot, but more like a snell. It is easy and works just as well. Brian from Mad River outfitters on youtube showed this. This guy just opened a beauty of a fly shop. All during the Covid . What a shop. Wish there was one like that around close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
